Gundam/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* The most outstanding one of all, though, is the final action of the Reinforce Jr. The ship's just been hit, disabling its left engine. Robert Gomez and the others know that they're not going to get out of their situation alive, but they also know the young members of the crew have to live on- he orders everyone except himself and the remaining old folk to evacuate the ship, and the evacuees can only look on in horror as the Reinforce Jr. advances towards the Zanscare fleet- while two of the old folk commandeer a heavily damaged mobile suit and ''use it as a turret to defend the ship'', no less. The waterworks come, however, when, despite the ship being heavily damaged and everyone else dead, Gomez, with a grin on his face, {{spoiler|rams the Motorad squadron as his last act.}} And if ''that'' isn't tear-jerking enough, ''listen to the song that's playing''.

* Given [[The Scrappy|her reputation]], I may be the only one who feels this way, but honestly, Katejina at the end of the very last episode. Due to her brain damage, [[The Ophelia|she doesn't remember]] any of the [[Moral Event Horizon|horrible stuff she's done]]; she's not raging at the main characters or herself for her current state. Heck, thinking of her adorable conversation with toddler Karlmann, she might as well not even be the same ''person''. She's just a lonely, sad girl on her way to a town she doesn't remember isn't there any more.

* All of the Shrike Team girls' deaths were very sad, but the kicker is {{spoiler|Mahelia's demise, and later funeral}}. She was such an adorable [[Cool Big Sis]] and seemed to understand Usso well, and then... things go like they did.

** And since he was their leader, {{spoiler|Oliver's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} is very sad too.
